Chloe arrived as Jane’s eyes were closing in a daze. Chloe knelt, cradling Jane.
The tower that Chloe had built up all this time collapsed just to protect Jane.
“Why are you crying? Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m fine, so don’t worry too much. My lady.”
“How can you say that? Is there anything you need? I’ll prepare everything…….”
Her voice, once rigid and upright, was so broken, probably because of herself. Her once plump face was now half what it was, probably because of herself.
Jane was happy. For a very short moment.
She thought she had served a very upright person. She thought she had loved something that could be reciprocated.
“I’m really fine.”
She momentarily pulled away from Chloe, who didn’t look like she would leave.
“Don’t worry about me…….”
“I’m no longer your person.”
The farewell that slipped out.
The chilly response from Jane made her counterpart’s mouth close at once. From the small gap where the upper and lower lips didn’t quite meet, her frail breath flowed.
Jane and Chloe couldn’t be together now that Jane had suffered this misfortune.
After this incident, someone will watch over the two of them.
Even if the two are not together, there will be a problem. Since they are each other’s weaknesses, they will repeat today’s events someday. They’ll be taken hostage again, causing misfortune.
The two had to part to avoid repeating this incident.
“I came to find you, my lady…… because I pitied you. That’s really all.”
Jane spewed out words she didn’t mean. She had to act more cruelly. Enough for Chloe to be disappointed in her.
“Since you were admired as a princess, shining brightly, and then vanished in an instant. I helped because that was pitiful. If I had known I would get hurt for being associated with you, I would have given up earlier.”
Jane realized anew that words can kill a person.
As she poured out the words she had memorized for days, she was dying herself.
“……I will no longer……”
She reached the last sentence, the easiest and strongest sentence. Just repeat this and the conversation ends.
But, as if ignoring the path she had walked so far, her mouth wouldn’t open.
Was it because her mouth was so dry? Then swallowing would make it a little better.
But what Jane tasted in her throat was not the bitter taste of blood, but the salty taste of nasal mucus.
Strange. She thought she had stopped crying. She had been hiding her emotions for the perfect act.
“I won’t come to see you anymore…….”
Jane, finally looking forward, was faced with faded blue eyes.
Those beautiful eyes, looking at her with a dim focus, seemed to see right through Jane’s lie.
Those eyes already knew.
That Jane couldn’t meet her gaze because she was lying.
That she was knocking the floor, keeping the sound from escaping.
He was subtly biting his lips as if in pain at the end of each sentence.
Chloe had been watching it all without letting on.
“Yes.”
“…….”
“You’ve worked hard, Jane.”
“…….”
“Have a pleasant trip. I’ll be waiting here whenever.”
Silence.
The silence that should have continued endlessly ended with a woman’s sigh. Although the metallic sound or nasal sound was occasionally mixed in, awkwardly, it sounded like an angel’s song to someone’s ears.
Despite noticing Jane’s lie, Chloe greeted her indifferently.
Even then, she didn’t forget to smile.
“I, I’ll miss you. Ma’am! Rea, sob, lly, sob. A lot…….”
Jane’s resolve crumbled first, even more than the disgusting sound of crying.
Soon enough, Jane was sobbing in Chloe’s arms. The tears she had been holding back alone exploded and wouldn’t stop.
“Yes.”
“I will, sob, definitely, sob, come back……. You must,uh, welcome me……. ”
Jane actually wanted to ask her to hold on to her.
Even if she were threatened or injured, it would be fine, so please allow her to stay by Chloe’s side.
“Someday……. we will, hic, meet, again, sob, right?”
But that moment didn’t have to be now. No matter how long the waiting time, Jane was fine with it, so she held back.
In the future, when Chloe was happy, when she was filled with people who could protect her, as Callis had done, she wished for them to come find Jane.
“Then.”
“…….”
“I’ll try. To reach you again, much harder than this.”
It was, after all, a beautiful word.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
